I am presently in the middle of constructing this template for the Maryland Roads WikiProject, and it may take a long time, as I am manually adding all routes. Any help is appreciated. This includes adding all routes to the list, and adding the template to the bottom of the respective pages when completed. Sebwite 17:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what this template was intended for, it's only supposed to link to the main articles in the project, like the route lists and the articles for the highway agencies. At the time this was created, there was no way to tie those articles together other than through "See also". Making sure all the see also lists linked to the various articles was hard to do without a template so I made this. I never intended it to list all routes since we already have List of numbered highways in Maryland and the secondary List of Maryland state highways to do that.-Jeff ^(talk) 01:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the original template and the template that it's become are two different things. This template should be changed back to its original form, though there may be some use (possibly in a different place) for the new template. If that's the case, though, there are some questions of what state highways should/should not be listed (listing all of them would result in a bloated and useless template, and sorting through to find only the major ones might take a long time.) - Algorerhythms (talk) 04:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the template should return to its original form. However, I do notice that a lot of links to roads in the Baltimore area are on this template and I believe that a new template for roads in the Baltimore area should be created and placed at the bottom of all articles on roads in the Baltimore area.

I am already in the middle of constructing one for the Baltimore and one for the Washington area. Here is the one for Baltimore and here is the one for Washington. Sebwite (talk) 16:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is the right idea, however I recommend moving the template for Baltimore roads to Template:Roads in Baltimore, Maryland and reverting Template:Roads in Maryland back to this version. Dough4872 (talk) 02:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I see that Template:Roads in Baltimore area has been created. Dough4872 (talk) 02:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
